## About Lost in Vivo

Lost in Vivo is a 2018 indie psychological horror game in which players descend into claustrophobic underground tunnels to find their lost service dog. The game features environmental puzzles, hidden tapes, multiple endings, and a sanity system that affects gameplay. Reviewers describe the atmosphere as deeply unsettling, with players noting that psychological horror feels personal and that tension seeps into the mind through deliberate sound design and PS1-style visuals that enhance the horror rather than diminish it. Hidden tapes reveal additional horror sequences beyond the main path, and secret game modes reward exploration. The challenging experience is designed for short play sessions and runs on Steam Deck. Over 2,800 Steam reviewers have given the game a 92% positive rating.
